Taking as its starting point the popularity of the concept of vulnerability over the last two decades, this thematic issue aims to shed light on its analytical, semantic and epistemological uses. Drawing on the field of migration studies and empirical studies from a range of social science disciplines, the articles in this issue examine the concept's capacity to travel and the productivity of its semantic and epistemological developments, as an object and category of both scientific analysis and public action. They all show to varying degrees, how in its application vulnerability is constructed in a paradoxical dialectic, whether by seeking to conform to it or to evade it, to naturalise it in discourse and practice, or on the contrary to reject or even deny it. By examining the effects of governance through vulnerability and the possibility of addressing inequality, exclusion and structural violence through this prism, some of the articles in this issue also offer suggestions for reconceptualising vulnerability or thinking differently about the challenges raised by migratory mobility today.
